Do you weigh your dog frequently?

Do you weigh your dog frequently?

Cairo gets weighed at the vets mostly.

Katie weighed when she has her checkups in the vets

i weigh memphis every couple of weeks just to see how much he has gained its amazing how quick they grow its working out around 2 pound a week

bigwazza - what does your boy weigh? just out of interest really. Not sure what the average weight is....if there is an average weight that is......to compare to kaos he's slightly older though at 15 weeks x

Kaiser gets weighed at the vets although they never get his proper weight because he doesnt sit still lol

I rarely weigh Dempsey except for worming or other vets treatment. As long as I can feel his ribs & he's fit & active I'm not bothered about weight.

fao blaze666 memphis is weighing at the moment at 7.8kg at 13weeks and he was 2.8kg when i got him at 7weeks you can see him growing lol and i dont think there is a standard weight as they vary in size so much

yea i think your right about not being a standard weight i think as long as they have got a nice tuck up and you can feel there ribs easily without seeing them and they have a nice shiney coat thats everyone needs to worry about. Kaos was 10.2 at 14 weeks but to be fair although i saw both his parents being a rescue without papers he has quite a high likelyhood of being crossed with something at some point. I thought Ty was also crossed to start with but he's 1 at the end of the month and has finaly started filling out and he is looking soooo good for it...he's turning into a really nice looking staffie (for a rescue) even if i do say so myself!! He was 17.9 a week or so ago x

Yes, I think weights can be very misleading. If you have a terrier-type dog that weighs the same as a bully-type dog, then one of them has a problem!!!

It's even more difficult with Bull Terriers, as there's no height guidelines either, so you not only have to look at body type, but height as well!

Our Lucy weighs 6.9kg at just on 12 weeks, she was 3.2kg when we bought her home at 8 weeks old.

Blue weighs 20kg

bluestaffblue - wow he doesnt look that big at all...looks like he's got some filling out to doin the pic, haha! My Ty has just started filling out and looks so much better for it!
Your blue looks like a cross is that right?

I think he probably is a cross
But not 100% sure as there are so many different shapes and size staffs
Type in irish blue staff in google images and they all look like him so not too sure if he is crossed or not
I didn't think he was that heavy until I just got him some new food and wanted to know his weight so I knew how much im working my way up to giving him.

Rocco and Dixie get weighed for worming every 3 months and when they have their anual booster.

Deano is being weighed every week now, just so I can keep track of his progress. Since coming home from the vets, he has put on a KG in 7 days! lol

Only when they go to vets do they get weighed. Emily is a bit chubby at 17kg so she's on a bit of a diet.
